10:35 | Lima, Oct. 13 (ANDINA).
Tens of thousands of exhilarated Peruvian fans tonight will make their dreams come true witnessing long-awaited Depeche Mode's Tour of the Universe at the Monumental Stadium in Lima.
Almost 30,000 fans will echo the band's most famous hits as“Personal Jesus”, "Wrong", “Enjoy the Silence”, “I Feel You”, “Strange love”, “It’s no good” and “Never Let Me Down Again”.
The greatest new wave band of all time lands has just given concerts in Bogota, Colombia, San Jose in Costa Rica, and Mexico, where they sang at the Arena V.F.G., Foro Sol and the Arena Monterrey.
"Tour of the Universe," is the group's first-ever stadium tour that includes shows in 21 countries across Europe, North and South America.
The English synth-pop group formed in 1980 and over the years they became one of the most successful and influential bands of the New Wave era, selling over 75 million albums worldwide.
Depeche Mode began as a quintet and has since become a trio of Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andrew Flechter. The group released a number of influential albums over the next few years.
In 1990 the album "Violator" hit the streets, which brought them into the mainstream with "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy the Silence." The group continued to release albums with success, and have amassed over 12 studio albums, three live albums, 8 compilations, 49 singles, 10 video albums and 56 music videos.
All the while, Depeche Mode has impacted a number of groups after them, including heavy metal groups such as Fear Factory, and Marilyn Manson, Tori Amos and Johnny Cash. Most recently, "Enjoy the Silence" was covered by Coldplay as an alternate video for "Viva la Vida."
